The Sailor's Bookshelf: Fifty Books to Know the Sea

James Stavridis

"The Sailor's Bookshelf offers synopses of fifty books that illustrate the history, importance, lore, and lifestyle of the oceans and of those who "go down to the sea in ships." Admiral Stavridis colors those descriptions with glimpses of his own service-"sea stories" in popular parlance-that not only clarify his choices but show why he is held in such high esteem among his fellow sailors"--
